Sepp Blatter Made Another Bad Joke About Women

In another lifetime, Sepp Blatter might have made for an ideal standup comic on the Catskills circuit in the 1950s and 1960s. His go-to line could have been, “Women … am I right?” Followed my adjusting his collar and asking you to try the fish.

For whatever the reason, when the FIFA president discusses women, he promptly proceeds to put his foot squarely in his 77-year-old Swiss mouth.

The FIFA executive committee recently increased the number of women on its board from one to three. Today, speaking at the FIFA Congress in Mauritius, Blatter dropped this gem.

Blatter to FIFACongress: “Are there any ladies in this room? Say something ladies! You are always speaking at home. Now you can speak here.”
